This explains the current structure of MD and where various
functionality can be found:
http://www.monodevelop.com/Architecture_Overview. The ParserService is
in the MonoDevelop.Projects layer.

However, if you're at the MonoDevelop.Ide later or above,
MonoDevelop.Ide.Gui.IdeApp is the easy place to find most services,
eg. IdeApp.Services.ParserService
